You can exercise your right to return using one of the following methods in accordance with article 54 of the Consumer Code: a) Online submission to the Vendor of the ‎‎Return Form‎‎* found in the ‎‎Customer Care‎‎ area, completed in its entirety; in this instance, the Vendor will send you an email confirming that they have received your return request. b) Sending to the Vendor the form – to be completed in its entirety – that can be downloaded from www.maison-alaia.com* and which is consistent with the template form as per art. 49, section 4 of the Consumer Code. c) Sending the Vendor another declaration explicitly stating your decision to withdraw from the sale contract. In instances b) and c), your declaration must be addressed to Customer Care at the registered office of YOOX NET-A-PORTER GROUP S.p.A. company subject to the management and coordination of Compagnie Financière Richemont S.A., via Morimondo, 17 – Milano 20143, Milan. In such instances, you will be responsible for proving that you exercised your right to withdraw from the sale contract correctly and within the specified time frame. In accordance with article 57 of the Consumer Code, once you have exercised your right to withdraw from the sale contract, the products to be returned must be handed over to the courier within fourteen (14) days of the date you notified the Vendor of your decision to withdraw. In accordance with article 59 of the Consumer Code, the right to return is excluded in the event that you purchased customised or personalised products, or sealed items that were opened after delivery and that cannot be returned for health or hygiene reasons. 1. Conditions for exercising the right to withdraw in accordance with art. 52 of the Consumer Code

The right to withdraw from the sale contract shall be deemed correctly exercised if the following conditions have been fully met:

The right to withdraw has been correctly exercised within fifteen (15) days of receiving the products following the procedures set out above

The products have not been used, worn or washed

The identification tag with the disposable seal is still attached to the products as it constitutes an integral part of the product (see art. 5 below)

The products are returned with their original packaging

The products are handed over to the courier within fourteen (14) days of the date you notified the Vendor of your decision to withdraw from the sale contract

The products are not damaged

If you have complied with the relevant conditions, the Vendor will, in accordance with art. 56 of the Consumer Code, fully reimburse the price of the products purchased. The only expenses borne by you will be those for returning the products, unless the Vendor expressly exempted you from those expenses when you made your purchase, and under the condition that you use the courier and shipping methods indicated below in section 2. 2. Procedure for returning products to the Vendor - UPS

The Vendor recommends you use the courier UPS (www.ups.com) for returning products. If you use UPS and the pre-printed label – which carries the return address – enclosed in the original order, you will not have to pay the return costs upfront. The Vendor will pay the courier UPS on your behalf and will deduct from your refund a fee equal to the cost incurred for delivering the purchased products to your home. ‎Contact UPS‎‎ to organise a return. The possibility of tracking each package sent at any time using this shipping method relieves you from any responsibility for loss or damage to the products during transit. If you decide to return products using a courier other than UPS, you will have to pay the return shipping costs upfront and you will be responsible for any loss or damage to the products during transit. In this event, you will also be refunded an amount equal to the standard shipping cost of the purchased products although, as per art. 56, section 2 of the Consumer Code, you will not be refunded for any additional costs incurred due to choosing another kind of shipment and delivery that is different to or faster than the standard method.

3. Compliance checks for returned products

You will be notified if the returned products cannot be accepted because they are not compliant with the conditions indicated above. In the event that your return does not comply with the terms and conditions set out in letters a), e) and f) of previous section 1 or art. 59 of the Consumer Code, you can choose, at your own expense, to have the products returned to you. If you refuse said delivery, the Vendor reserves the right to retain the products and the amount paid for the purchase of the products. We also remind you that, in accordance with art. 57, section 2 of the Consumer Code, you will be liable for any decrease in value of products returned to the Vendor resulting from any use of them other than what is necessary to verify their nature, characteristics and functioning. You will also be informed if your return cannot be accepted because it does not comply with the conditions indicated in letters b), c) and d) of section 1 above. In this instance, you may choose to accept a reduced refund owing to the decrease in value of the returned products, and which the Vendor will communicate to you, or choose to have the products sent back to you at your own expense. In the event of the latter, should you refuse this shipment, the Vendor reserves the right to retain both the products and the amount specified for the decreased refund owing to the decrease in value of the returned products.

4. Refund times and procedures

Once the Vendor has received the returned products and checked all requirements have been met, you will receive an email confirming that the return has been accepted and YNAP will proceed with a full refund, or, if the products are found to have decreased in value, you will receive an email informing you of the amount deducted from the refund and YNAP will proceed with the refund of the remaining amount. Whatever the form of payment used, the Vendor will process the refund as quickly as possible and, in any case, within fourteen (14) days from the date it was informed of your decision to exercise your right to return, and once it has checked that the return was carried out in compliance with the above conditions. The time period for refunding the amount paid for purchasing the returned products depends on the form of payment used:

Purchase by credit/debit card: refund time will depend on the card company, but will normally take place within two billing cycles. The credit's value date will be the same as the original debit. You will not, therefore, suffer any losses in terms of bank interest.

Payment by PayPal (if available): refunds will be credited to your PayPal account and will be visible immediately. The actual reimbursement of the credit card associated with your PayPal account will depend on the company that issued the card.

Payment made by cash on delivery (if available): we will refund to the bank account indicated by you, so the time taken for the refund will depend on the accuracy of the information provided by you; the refund will usually take fourteen (14) days.

Payment by SOFORT Banking (if available): time will depend on the SOFORT company’s policies.

5. Items returned because they are damaged, defective or incorrect

Notwithstanding legal rules protecting consumers, if you are returning a product because of an error on our part or because it is damaged or defective, you shall notify YNAP within thirty (30) days of receipt using the online Return Form on the website; if a product becomes faulty after the thirty (30) days please contact Customer Care to obtain further returns information. You must return the products in the same condition in which you received them. For returning the products please see section 1 and 2 above. YNAP will examine all products returned as damaged or defective and will notify you of your refund via email within a reasonable period of time. Subject to acceptance by YNAP of the damaged or defective goods, products returned by you because they are damaged or defective will be refunded in full, including the cost of delivery for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to YNAP. In the event that YNAP find no fault with the returned products, you will be notified that the returned products cannot be accepted and you may elect to have the products re-delivered to you. If you do not accept re-delivery YNAP reserves the right to retain the products and the purchase price and recover YNAP's fees and expenses.

6. Identification Tag
